Nameless King

"I see. I think one day I'll visit this wonderful place."

"Your business." Forgotten shrugged, and the wall beside him turned to ink, "I have to go. I promised to Gisle help, and I was just about to leave when you showed up."

"Of course."

Forgotten smiled and left.

'Damn, I get the feeling that Gisle can recruit anybody. Maybe he's the one who set up the merging of worlds, so I'd work harder for the organization's good.'

...

Wain wanted to rest, but his favorite ice lake was occupied by monsters storing energy there. He decided not to kick them out and headed for the Snow Desert, an usually empty oasis since its liquid was medicinal.

In the Forest of Frozen Lands, battles were forbidden but not friendly sparring. Monsters would occasionally get injured, but in that case, they would head to Edena and Lui Bu for help or ask Elegan to take care of it.

...

After a few hours, Wain climbed out of the relaxing oasis and opened the skills menu.

"It was time to see what I was able to accomplish. Showers should be enough."

While Wain was in the oasis, he extracted the necessary amount of Essences and distributed the souls. Unlike last time, he needed a lot of Second Chronicle souls, so several skills took hundreds of souls.

The first skill Wain decided to improve was Shattered Part. He had recently upgraded some of his skills, and Shattered Part was the weakest of the bunch, which was more of a supplement to a weapon than a full-fledged combat skill.

A rune flew out of his body and merged with dozens of souls and different colors. There was an energy surge, and the new rune entered his body.

Wain looked at the description of the skill but was unsatisfied. Shattered Part was and remained a Common Rating skill even after the Chronicle upgrade. Wain had a lot of souls, so he chose the suitable options and immediately improved this skill to Epic Rating.

[Black Flame Zone (Second Chronicle, Epic Rating)

You have learned the power of flame and darkness and can use it to destroy your enemies.

Gather energy and hit the ground with a wave of black flame, similar to the essence of death.

The wave will cause serious damage to enemies and lower their defense by 33% for 30 seconds. The flame continues to burn for another ten seconds and is almost impossible to extinguish].

The next skill Wain improved was The Serpent's Step: Tail.

[The Serpent's Step: Ancient Tail (Second Chronicle, Heroic Rating)

Create a phantom image of the ancient serpent's tail and use it to suppress your enemies.

You have uncovered a piece of the ancient lineage of a powerful creature, and the phantom image exudes a unique aura.

*When you use the skill, your attack power is increased by 10% for one second]

The effect seemed useless, but it wasn't. The Serpent's Step: Ancient Tail was a speed skill, and there was enough time to make a devastating attack.

Wain nodded and improved one of his strongest skills, which before the evolution was Legendary Rating, Wings of the Bone Terror.

[Wings of the Night Horror (Second Chronicle, Ascendant Rating)

Create wings similar to the branches of a creepy tree with a few dark feathers. It will tear your flesh and sync with your blood.

This skill is suitable for those whose hearts and souls are as dark as night but have a bright luster similar to the blue moon.

You won't be able to use your wings to fly, but your speed will exceed your wildest expectations.

Your wings will become stronger at night and reveal their full potential under the moon's light.

Feathers will answer your call, and you'll be able to create true terror].

"Damn, I still can't fly. Though it's no surprise, this ability isn't easy to get, but I prefer to have wings as a weapon anyway if it's strong." Wain muttered and moved on to the next skill, Three Wanderer Steps.

Wain did the same with this skill as with Shattered Part and immediately upgraded it to Epic Rating for greater effectiveness.

[Thundering Dissension (Second Chronicle, Epic Rating)

Summon the powers of thunder and imbue your fist with the power of thunder coming from the heavens. It will fuse with the energy of darkness and transform into a dark thunderbolt. The crushing power of this skill will wound most Second Chronicle enemies and turn the lands into scorched wastelands].

'Great, now there's one last one left.' Wain thought and moved on to Flaming Healing Threads.

[Flame Weaver (Second Chronicle, Epic Rating)

When wounded, invisible threads will appear that greatly speed up your regeneration. The phantom image of the weaver will manipulate the threads for greater effectiveness and allow you to summon his power once every fifteen days.

Your wounds will heal, and the weaver will weave with you for a time, increasing your resistance to fire by 30% and significantly increasing your fire attacks].

Wain was pleased with the skills he learned. They were greatly transformed. Each skill had unique characteristics that could not be replicated exactly.

However, so far, Wain had one skill that he had not yet developed: Caretaker of Symbols.

He needed to read one thousand books to do so, but Wain physically didn't have time for that.

He allowed himself to go into the arena because he needed to improve his skills and as long as he could not worry about the safety of humanity. Teres and Forgotten were strong enough to provide humanity with protection, at least for a while.

'Hmm, I still have quite a few souls left, I don't plan to trade with Sven yet, so it's about time I finally got my level up.' Wain thought, and hundreds of souls flew out of him.

He crushed them one by one and felt the power overwhelm him. Wain didn't know the maximum level for Second Chronicle, but he was sure he would find out soon.
